Study Finds Bioelectricity Better Option Than Liquid Biofuels for Transportation Output and GHG Emissions

Green Car Congress

“We found that converting biomass to electricity rather than ethanol makes the most sense for two policy-relevant issues, transportation and climate.” Electric transportation may also provide a bridge that connects transportation to future renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.On Resources.

California Energy Commission awards more than $5.5M for green transportation projects and $1.8M for 20 energy research projects

Green Car Congress

Funds for these projects—which span areas as diverse as a new crossover valve for the split-cycle Tour Engine ( earlier post ) to a new solar thermal storage device capable of integration with utility scale solar thermal power plants—come from Commission’s Energy Innovations Small Grant (EISG) program.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

It’s getting cleaner and prospects are improving BY TIM BENFORD: PRESIDENT OF DRIVE ELECTRIC DAYTON, PAST VICE-PRESIDENT OF ELECTRIC AUTO ASSOCIATION. Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries?
